Vitalik needs purchase and installation of orthoses on his ankle joints as they started deforming due to lack of motion activity. It is to be recalled that the child has ICP.
Our Fund has paid for the procedure of express orthotics for Vitalik. The boy’s joints are now fixed in the proper position, which improves their condition.

Vitlik is a very fair boy with big blue eyes and a smile open to the entire world. Vitlisha is the first and most long-awaited child in the family. All close people and relatives had been looking forward to his appearance. However, this world gave him a harsh welcome. Vitalik was born on 06.04.2010 by means of cesarean section. From the first minutes of his life the boy was placed in the resuscitation unit and ALV-intubated where he spent 9 days. After the ICU he was transferred into a usual ward and spent 10 more days there. He was discharged with the diagnosis of undifferentiated fetal infection with liver, heart, kidneys and brain damage.
Doctors in the resuscitation unit tried to convince us that such children did not survive. During further visits doctors told us that by the age of one year such children caught up with their peers. But it did not happen.
By the age of one year we were killed by the diagnosis: ICP, spastic tetraparesis. Our baby was certainly retarded in terms of motor skills; he was very emotionally unsteady, cried all the time really going off but we did not expect that like no parents expect it in such a situation. Numerous rehabilitation courses started and the doctors’ forecasts were killing but there was also positive dynamics in the child’s development which was noted by everybody. Today Vitalik does not sit or walk, he cannot hold a spoon in his hands, he does not speak. But his eyes are intelligent; he understands absolutely everything is willing to move and to be like his peers. The son is very attached to me, emotionally unsteady and demand constant attention. At the same time Vitaly has a clear head, he understands me and the people around him, actively reacts to events and even responds positively or negatively, distinguishes colors and geometrical figures.
The child is controlled by me all day long: in the morning we have massage, Vojta-therapy and therapeutic exercise, exercise in Atlant costume; in the second part of the day we have logopedic and defectologic classes. Twice a week we visit the Rehabilitation Center for Children and Teenagers with Disabilities FSBI where the child has individual or group classes with a speech pathologist.
during the year we undergo courses of paid rehabilitation (with the help of funds, relatives and sponsors) in different areas of development of a special child. We undergo courses of dolppphhhin therapy as a method of nonconventional medicine which, in our opinion, also contributes to the positive dynamics in Vitaly’s development. We also had consultations in Germany. German doctors threw up their hands saying that the improperly performed resuscitation had caused the child’s disability (some Russian doctors also noted this fact). German doctors noticed a specific feature in Vitaly: despite the severe disturbance of the child’s motion activity his psycho-emotional development is much better than in other children with similar disturbances . They advised not to listen to any forecasts but just to study with the child, which all the members of our family keep doing to this day.
We had courses of Vojta therapy in Germany for a year. We had improvements after the first trip already: Vitalik started holding his head better, his back became straighter and his hands freer, etc.
Children with ICP need regular rehabilitation (not once or twice a year as it usually happens in reality!), courses of massage, therapeutic exercises, etc. It should be also noted that even with proper and regular rehabilitation such a child cannot do without orthopedical devices – orthoses and other things which cost quite a lot.
our family consists of 4 people: myself, my husband Kolechenok Vitaly Viktorovich, our son Kolechenok Vitaly Vitalievich born in 2010, a disabled child, and our daughter Kolechenok Evgeniya Vitalievna born in 2011. Only my husband works in our family. We have grandparents on one side only, and although they are pensioners, they also work to support us financially knowing the costs our family incurs in connection with the rehabilitation of our son.
Vitaly now needs orthoses on medical indications. The cost of the orthoses leaves no possibility for our family to buy them. I ask you to help my son to get them.
Mother, Tsvetkova Marina Nikolaevna.
